Honda Motorcycles and Scooters India (HMSI) seems to have filed patents for the new 2017 Honda Unicorn 150. Honda could be busy readying a comprehensively updated Unicorn 150 to cash in on the huge fan following that this bike enjoys. The 150cc Unicorn, which was withdrawn from the market after the advent of the 160cc model, was re-launched owing to the huge demand and the rather lukewarm response the 160cc model got from the market. The upcoming facelift, thanks to its new-age styling and additional features, should further enhance the appeal of Honda’s most successful 150cc offering. Read on for all the details on the new 2017 Honda Unicorn 150 facelift.

The 2017 Unicorn facelift should look a lot more modern and stylish whilst retaining its ultra-refined and sufficiently potent 150cc single-cylinder engine. While the Unicorn was the first Indian motorcycle to boast a mono-shock rear suspension, the upcoming Honda motorcycle in India will have a conventional twin shock absorber setup. Also, while the original Uni came with 18-inch wire spoke wheels, the upcoming model will have 17-inch alloys.
The bikini faired motorcycle is powered by 149.1 cc air-cooled engine which is tuned to deliver 13.3 PS at 8,500 rpm and 12.84 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm. These figures are likely to go up for the new 2017 model Unicorn 150. Transmission is a 5-speed unit. Same specs are expected to continue with the updated Unicorn 150 as well.
